SOCIAL SECURITY PENSIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1975 - SECT 44



44.(1) This Article has effect as to the cases in which an earner's employer
may pay a state scheme premium where

occupational pension scheme is terminated before he attains the scheme's
normal pension age or (if earlier) the end of the tax year preceding that in
which he attains pensionable age; and

(b)he has served for less than five years in contracted-out employment by
reference to the scheme;

(2) If

(a)the earner's service is terminated in any way except by his death or by the
scheme's ceasing to be contracted-out; and

(b)his period of service is not one in respect of which the scheme conforms to
the appropriate extent with the preservation requirements of Part V,

(3) If the earner's service is terminated by his death and he dies leaving a
widow, his employer may elect to pay a contributions equivalent premium with a
view to extinguishing any such accrued rights in respect of the widow.
